Interesting comments below, in regard to Apple’s enterprise plans.
“The “Lion” Server may be the last version of the Mac OS X Server that matters, but if that’s the case, it’s going out with a roar. It’s a solid operating system that was designed for ease of use and lives up to that goal. What other goals Apple may have for the Lion Server aren’t easily described.Since Apple’s exit from the enterprise server market at the beginning of the year, the company has tried to position its Mac Mini and Mac Pro server-ish configurations as replacements for the rack-mounted Xserve. But if Apple has plans to expand its server business, it’s doing a good job of disguising them. The operating system’s management tools are a confusing mix of legacy tools and new utilities that unnecessarily overlap in many places. It’s hard to recommend Lion Server to anyone except the most fanatical of Mac loyalists. Consumer king Apple could care less about its server customers, and I suspect that the company could walk away from that line of business in a year and only suffer minimal backlash from users.”“As it is, the lack of meaningful information suggests that the Lion Server may have been dumbed down past the point of no return.”

Geez,
If you wasn’t so committed in backing them up maybe, just maybe…
You could have noticed that there are many creative content production areas.All of them have been loosing ground on the Mac, lately.
Audio and moving picture production are just next ones in line.I’m sorry if I can’t be specific when talking about a general idea.
Go figure.I did outline earlier why FCPX is closed…
(and also how it will be even more)
And you have promptly responded to that earlier.
A lot of postings lately, eh?Cheers,

My definition of a power hardcore user? My pleasure, Jeremy.
From an Apple standpoint, it is the user that fits into the below:– Utilizes -one or more- Apple computers to run production software of any kind.
– Have to share multiple instances of work within a range of production needs.
– Relies on an ecosystem of production devices that are made of several vendors.
– Needs to tag along with complimentary activities of different workers involved.Now that you have my definition, could you please elaborate on how Apple
will improve that power user environment? I think It will better if we narrow down
to just sound and moving picture production for the sake of relevance here. -
Well, it will be the first consumer editing device to support 4k editing, multicam, 4444 and capture cards. Hope the soccer moms and dads are ready to spend a whole lot of money on a new camera and lens package. Little Tiger’s soccer games will look amazing.
Well, for all I know this is the first software updgrade in history that
in order to restore its former functionality (except 4K)its users will have to wait
an entire year for a patch? WOW! that’s something to brag about…Not!Those patches are damage control and it will end up
in a buggy piece of software at the end, we all know that.I keep hearing your incidental jokes about soccer moms
but hey, iphone 5 is around the corner, isn’t it?
And gawd knows what’s the next gadget they will come up with…Judging for their recent history of releases it will be closer
to that proud mom you speak of than any creative hardcore user around here.
So, be careful what you wish for, Jeremy.Do you honestly think they are prioritizing a ecosystem
of power users over a ecosystem of gadgets users? How come?Firing an entire pro team of workers?
Disrupting visual content packages?
Introducing consumer aspects in its editor?
(And waiting a year to get functionality back?)
Care to elaborate on that?Cheers,

I guess the amateur sex sites are going to get better footage.
hmmm…Just realized what the X stands for…
The bitten fruit strikes again, eh? Shoot in the field and stabilize it with FCPXXX!
-Power to the people, MOFOS!

Maybe they will fix those “interface problems” as you put it.
But I tend to think most of them just won’t make it though.My overall thinking of a closed ecosystem is still yet to come.
Even if some current omissions may be added in a very near future.Yes, I think Apple might EOL FCPX as well in the future – 3yrs max.
Then you’ll have iMovie Pro FOR REAL. How about that for a bomb?Cheers,

“You said FCPX is a closed ecosystem. I ask you to explain what you mean for further clarification“
OK I’ll try it.
– FCPX is sold only at the Apple’s App Store
– FCPX alienates former FCP users by not opening legacy projects
– FCPX has a unique trackless timeline that forbids OMF audio workflows
– FCPX denies existence of professional tape input/output
– FCPX denies existence of film based editing
– FCPX is based on RGB color space only
– FCPX has only a couple of developers allowed by Apple to make plugins
– FCPX has primarily a single window interface prioritizing single screens
– FCPX won’t allow you to use layered PSDs as layered timelines
– FCPX restrains the user that wants to set up custom size/FPS projects
-
I thought so…
In the same matter that filming a exploding G4 relates to a FCPX video review?
-
Oh, indeed. FCPX users will be artists, but just like anyone capable of it.
(sure that relates to the OP’s premises)But as time goes by they will be systematically tied to Apple’s Ecosystem.
(I mean more then they are now, mind you)So much for artistic freedom, eh?

Conversion, software version 7.0,
Looking at life through the eyes of a tire hub,
Eating seeds is a pastime activity,
The toxicity of our city, of our city,no, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder,
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep,
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,
Disorder, disorder, disorder.More wood for their fires, loud neighbors,
Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck,
Eating seeds is a pastime activity,
The toxicity of our city, of our city,no, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder, disorder,
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep,
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,
Disorder, disorder, disorder.You, what do you own the world?
How do you own disorder
Now, somewhere between the sacred silence,
Sacred silence and sleep,
Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep,
Disorder, disorder, disorder.When I became the sun,
I shone life into the man’s hearts,
When I became the sun,
I shone life into the man’s hearts.(Toxicity by SOAD)
